Abstract

Abstract PCT No. PCT/JP92/00238 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 2, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 2, 1992 PCT Filed Feb. 28, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/16026 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 17, 1992.An anode material composed mainly of a difficultly graphatizable carbon or coke (easily graphatizable coke) consisting essentially of carbon, phosphorus and oxygen, and containing phosphorus in an amount of 0.2 to 9.0 wt %, is disclosed. The anode material exhibits a peak in a 31P solid NMR spectrum in a range of +-100 ppm based on orthophosphoric acid, and a peak in a 2p orbital spectrum of a phosphorus atom in XPS of not more than 135 eV. The anode material is prepared by adding phosphoric acid or phosphorus oxides to an organic material or a carbonic material. A non-aqueous liquid electrolyte cell is produced from the above anode material, an Li-containing cathode and a liquid electrolyte.
